The weather was nearly perfect for the third annual Taste of Abingdon held Saturday, May 22 in and around Rotary Park. The smell of grilling food wafted throughout the area tempting visitors. Youngsters played on the playground equipment and enjoyed the various activities geared towards them including the kiddie tractor pull and the water balloon launch. Chairman of the Blue Ribbon Committee, Don Smith, is known for taking a hands on approach and Saturday wasn’t any different. He manned the balloon launch often getting a refreshing splash in the process.
A display of antique tractors was also part of the day’s activities.
The Taste of Abingdon is one of many activities sponsored by the Abingdon Rotary/Blue Ribbon Committee. Be looking for additional family fun events sponsored by the group throughout the summer months.
